When his dearest friend is cut down in a duel by the arrogant Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr, the young Breton lawyer Andre-Louis Moreau turns revolutionary agitator, hides from the law among a troupe of strolling players as the clown Scaramouche, masters the blade as a fencing academy's finest, and carries his long vengeance into the storm of Revolutionary Paris.
